APHEX TWIN - SYRO

[Kavinsky]

 

is there an explanation why he kills rephlex ?

 

Since he is a beloved father of 3 twins I suppose he does not have enough time to handle a record label.

 

Kids are not like drummachines you just cant switch them on and off.

A part of it is explained in the interview: the money lost on the Analords release (for example). Just the manufacturing of the binder was between 80-90 pounds a piece so they lost on that big time. He notes there are more reasons the label is now defunct, but they aren't mentioned yet.

 

yeah but he sold the analord stuff aswell

[andihow]

*pours out entire 40 for rephlex*

If I remember correctly, the binder was sent out with one record (Analord 10) and was sold for about 40 pounds. I'm not sure on the amount of binders that were sold, but even taking the massive succes of the whole limited Analord series into account, the profits couldn't have been very high.

 

Perhaps Rephlex stopped being a recordlabel and morphed into something else. Eitherway, much respect. One of the dopest labels ever

I've been holding that opinion for a while now because of all the non-facts out there, but this new tidbit doesn't help... Let's hope you're right

 

And welcome btw!

Didn't the original thing say the binder would be leather? I mean, no-one was too fussed when it wasn't but, y'know, it seems like they were getting a bit carried with it all. Losing all that cash is such a shame.

 

 

And I didn't even get mine. (Order 451, where are you?) I would have paid in full too.

Also if there is ever a release of a "Making of Windowlicker"-video I would be so glad, that music video is a masterpiece.

There are pictures floating about of Richard on set in Los Angeles where they filmed it playing chess...

 

Can't remember that one! I did found these though:

 

Yeah, there was one with him sitting with his head on his hand, Thinker-like, staring at a chessboard with the Californian sunset as a backdrop... I have it somewhere in my archives, I'm sure, or it was on the director-file website...

[producer snafu]

well can't say i'm surprised. but I was getting hopeful because rephlex had a good 2013. go out with a bang I guess!!

 

SO DOES THIS MEAN NO MORE BOGDAN?????????? boggy i need u

i wish i knew of a way to guilt bogan into making us a new album, i have mentioned doing a self release on bandcamp and he said he'd think about it.

 

he takes forever to think =/

[Soloman Tump]

Sells Analord binder for a massive loss, closes own label.

 

Sells new limited edition version of album for 200 quid, keeps half of profits

[Kavinsky]

I believe it was on Bogdans facebook in february that he was working on a new album?

The reason he gave to me for shutting down rephlex, last june(?) was a mixture of the amount of time its been in existence, and going out while you're still on top.

a good hour long audio file was posted a few pages back but I can't find it atm because this thread is insane (at least. I think it was this thread...)

A bit more to it than that, but essentially, yes.

[Kavinsky]

They probably realized they can make money off a release and capitalize on the SYRO hype.

[randomAmateur]

imminent leak?
